Jovian Art

NASA’s Juno spacecraft skimmed the upper wisps of Jupiter’s
atmosphere when JunoCam snapped this image on Feb. 2 at 5:13 a.m. PT (8:13 a.m.
ET), from an altitude of about 9,000 miles (14,500 kilometers) above the giant
planet’s swirling cloudtops.

Streams of clouds spin off a rotating oval-shaped cloud system
in the Jovian southern hemisphere. Citizen scientist Roman Tkachenko
reconstructed the color and cropped the image to draw viewers’ eyes to the
storm and the turbulence around it.
